Seal has just released the video for his new single ?Secret?, which is the lead single from the upcoming album Seal 6: Commitment that is scheduled to hit stores on September 28th.
Are you a fan of Seal’s music? What did you think of the song? I was immediately thinking “Victoria’s Secret” because of Heidi Klum.

Actor says he is ‘lucky’ to work with his ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’ co-star.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Kara Warner

Tom Hanks is very excited to get work started on the film adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s second novel, “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.” Why? Well, aside from the story — which follows a 9-year-old boy in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks — he can’t wait to work with fellow Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock.

“Well, I have left a voicemail for Sandra … Sandy. Can I call her Sandy? I can call her Sandy. I think she called the office back, but I hope to talk to her very, very, very soon,” the Emmy-winning Hanks told MTV News at the HBO Emmy afterparty. “The story is magnificent. Eric Roth wrote a brilliant screenplay, which makes our lives very easy because you just read it and you say, ‘I would be honored to be a part of this.’ ”
Although he isn’t a close friend of Bullock, he does admire her work. “I am a huge Sandra Bullock fan. I’ve only met her a couple of times. She is a magnificent actress,” he raved. “And every time we’ve seen her, even just as recently as ‘The Proposal’ and ‘The Blind Side,’ we’ve thought, ‘We’d be lucky to work with her.’ ”
“Extremely Loud” is focused on a New York boy whose father was killed in the 9/11 attacks. The boy finds a key that belonged to his dad, but he doesn’t know what it unlocks; the plot follows his attempt to answer that question. Foer’s book employs an untraditional writing style that incorporates multiple interconnected story lines, photographs and the like.
The rights to the novel were first acquired several years ago. Scott Rudin is producing and Stephen Daldry (”The Hours”) is attached to direct, with a script from “Forrest Gump” writer Eric Roth. Warner Bros. is the lead studio on the project.

‘It was the last one we expected her to pick,’ song’s producers reveal.By Steven Roberts

If you’ve listened to Beyoncé’s “Why Don’t You Love Me” and inexplicably felt like you were a spy in the middle of an international conspiracy, then don’t feel like you’re weird. When producers the Bama Boyz, created the song, that’s exactly how they felt.

The Grammy-nominated production trio of Eddie Smith, Jesse J. Rankins and Jonathan Wells are signed to Mathew Knowles’ (a.k.a. Beyoncé’s father) Music World Entertainment, and have worked with B for some time. In fact, the song’s inspiration came from the time they spent in London at the end of her B-Day Tour.
“After the tour left, we stayed over in the UK, because we fell in love with it. It was a big thing for us, being out there, and we watch a lot of movies, so we all felt like Jason Bourne, to be quite honest with you,” Rankins said. “We felt like James Bond or something. We were running around on like — this is kind of embarrassing — pretend missions in our head and we felt like we needed a theme song for it.”
He said they started working on the song that would become “Why Don’t You Love Me” in London, and completed it once they were back Stateside. They said that the song’s structure was unusual, but luckily it ended up in the right person’s hands.
“What happen was [B's sister] Solange called us and was like, ‘Hey, I’m going to write a couple of records for my sister. Send me some tracks!’ We had a lot of bangers that felt more like Beyoncé, but we actually put that one last on the CD because we figured ‘This is not Beyoncé,’ but we knew Solange would like it,” Rankins said. “So we stuck that one there — but we battled with even putting it on there, because it was the last one we expected her to pick. So Solange sent it back with a song written to it, and it was the ‘Why Don’t You Love Me’ lyrics. The song was hot!”
The Bama Boyz met in junior high and high school and linked back up in college at Alabama A&M University, where they threw parties as DJs. They eventually landed internships at Sony Music before hooking up with Mathew Knowles.
Despite their name, the group’s sound doesn’t necessarily scream Alabama. Their EP, Socially Awkward, is filled with music that can’t readily be classified as electro, R&B or hip-hop.
“We actually like the fact that our name is the Bamaz — people say, ‘Ah, they’re going to sound like this.’ But then we you hear [us], you’re like ‘What? Are they really from Alabama?’ It’s just like a gumbo of lots of different genres and styles.”

‘He’s a talented kid,’ the actress tells MTV News of her late-breaking case of Bieber Fever.By Kara Warner

When it comes to rabid fans, it would seem that the “Twilight” franchise fanbase and that of teen chart-topper Justin Bieber have a lot in common. For instance, both have extremely dedicated fans, complete with playful nicknames — Twilighters and Beliebers. Both groups are prone to burst into ear-piercing screams and heavily influence awards-show voting. So when MTV News recently caught up with “Breaking Dawn” star Nikki Reed, we asked whether she had any special insight into Bieber Fever, having experienced the kind of fan-demonium he has.

“I didn’t really understand that for a while, and I finally get it,” she said about the singer while promoting her new flick “Last Day of Summer.”
Reed said her “a-ha” moment came when she stumbled upon vintage Bieber videos online, which show the singer at 6 years old, playing guitar on the side of the road. “The excitement and passion in his eyes and his voice, this little tiny kid holding this big huge guitar … he’s singing, his voice penetrates into the world,” Reed recalled. “People across the street were listening, it’s truly incredible. He’s a talented kid.”
The “Twilight” actress added that while she might not personally fit into his demographic, she has slowly come to realize the power of Bieber. “He’s got a very specific look and style thing that he’s going for. I didn’t understand or connect with that [at first], just like the Jonas Brothers, but I’m starting to get it with the Biebs.”
Are you surprised to hear Nikki Reed is a fan of the Biebs? Tell us in the comments!

L.A. band is set to release What Did You Think Was Going To Happen? in September.By Jocelyn Vena

This September, L.A. outfit 2AM Club will release their debut studio album, What Did You Think Was Going To Happen? and for it, the guys hit the studio with a number of top-grade producers including former Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison and hip-hop producer No ID, who they say helped shape one “ridiculous” track for their album.

“The beginning of the No ID collaboration is he had a track [and] we did our album with an A&R guy named Peter Edge, who worked with Alicia keys and D’Angelo and has done a bunch of amazing records over the last few years,” 2 AM-er Tyler Cordy explained to MTV News. “And we just heard it one day and it was ridiculous. And it always had been there.”
So, after thinking it over, the guys decided to revisit the song for the album. “And we heard it and we kind of went back months later and [were like], ‘What happened to the No ID beat?’ … So we got in the studio and hashed out this song, ‘Make You Mine.’ The track turned out ridiculous.”
The guys not only hooked up with the hip-hop producer for the track, they also left sunny California to record the album in very chilly New York City. It was a refreshing change. “We had a bunch of demos written when we were leaving L.A. And then, hooking up with our team, they extended the hand [to come to NYC],” Cordy explained. “We never really lived on the East Coast, and we wrote in Brooklyn and spent a number of cold, cold winter months [there]. It gave the record two different angles.”
Bandmate Marc Griffin explained that this album means the world to the group. “We’ve been writing it our whole lives,” he said. “It’s about love and heartbreak and nighttime and leaving home.”
